The stretchy lycra is a popular favourite at music time.

Fun Afternoon

Room 12 had earnt themselves the opportunity to have some free time.  In this time the children were able to select the resources they wanted to use and who they teamed up with.  It was interesting to observe and listen to the children.  There was lots of language, negotiation and sharing of ideas.

The girls shared the same interest and they worked together really well.

Kalala enjoyed building with blocks.
